A razor-thin, high-fashion serif italic with extreme thick–thin modulation and a pronounced vertical stress. The capitals are tall and elegant with crisp, unbracketed hairline serifs and long, tapered terminals that sharpen to points. Curves are smooth and tense, with narrow apertures and polished, calligraphic joins; the lowercase maintains a relatively moderate x-height while leaning fluidly with sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing stout main stems with fine hairlines and needle-like finishing strokes for a cohesive, boutique display texture.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine mastheads, fashion and beauty campaigns, luxury brand identities, and premium packaging. It also works well for pull quotes, event titles, and short editorial headlines where its contrast and italic motion can carry the composition.
The overall tone is poised and glamorous, evoking couture editorials, luxury packaging, and modern classic refinement. Its dramatic contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of theatricality, while the controlled italic flow keeps the mood sophisticated rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif italics: elegant proportions, dramatic modulation, and sharp detailing optimized for striking, upscale display typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as an intentional sparkle, while at smaller sizes they may become visually fragile, so the design naturally favors display settings with generous spacing. The italic angle and long terminals create lively word shapes, especially in title case and short phrases.
